It absorbed 41,600 joules.
Explanation:
If the sample of sucrose burnt in the calorimeter releases 41600Joules of heat, then the water in the calorimeter will absorb 41600J.
The heat lost by burning the sucrose in the calorimeter is also the heat gained by the water therein.
A calorimeter is a device by prevents heat loss to the environment in any form.
It is specially designed to minimize heat loss by conduction, convection radiation.
Therefore, since no heat is lost, the heat released by burning the sucrose is used in heating the water there.
